6. Compliment others

This one might seem counterintuitive: A lot of guys think projecting confidence means drawing attention to themselves and away from others. In reality, complimenting others on their appearance, on a funny story they told or on an accomplishment they’ve shared not only indicates that you’re a gentleman, but it also subtly communicates that you are in a position to evaluate others. Giving compliments shows that you’ve done things, you know things and that you’re a good judge of character.
